Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concerns because we all know that tobacco can cause serious health issues.
But i must tell you that tobacco dependence can treated by drugs and strong motivation to stop tobacco.
Nicotine chewing gum is one option. The dose is 2mg or 4mg depending on the amount of tobacco used. It is not to be chewed just like other chewing gums. It is to be chewed for a few seconds and to be kept for few minutes between your gums and cheek for few minutes. This has to be repeated and a single gum can be used upto 30minutes.
Another option is tablet buropion.

I suggest you to visit your psychiatrist for proper treatment.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks.
